About Bupa Merrivale Care Home
Living at Merrivale Rest Home is about continuing an active life with people who really care about your comfort and well-being. It's a happy place with a great atmosphere. Our gardens are also being beautifully landscaped as part of this project.
We welcome friends and family at any time.
At Merrivale, our residents also enjoy getting out and about in the Bupa van. We are close to Kamo Village shops and a regular van ride away from central Whangārei. There’s always something happening at Merrivale, and our residents can choose whether they get involved in the range of activities on offer, or just enjoy some quiet time.
We look forward to welcoming new residents and making them part of the warm family environment that is Merrivale Care Home. We will continue to provide rest home level care.
We would be delighted to have the opportunity to talk with you about our care. Please phone Karen Duncan, our General Manager, or feel free to drop in at any time.
